Creme Egg Brownies
- 200g (7oz) 70% dark chocolate
- 250g (9oz) butter
- 300g (10 1/2oz) light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 150g (5oz) plain flour
- 100g (3 1/2oz) white chocolate chips
- 200g (7oz) Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, frozen
- 6 Cadbury Creme Eggs, halved
Topping
- 100g (3 1/2oz) white chocolate
- yellow or orange food colouring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / fan 160°C / 350°F / gas mark 4.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate, butter and sugar over a low heat. Alternatively, zap everything in a bowl in a microwave in short bursts and stir in between until the sugar has melted.
- Leave the melted chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature which should take about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer bowl and beat fast for 1 minute.
- Beat in one egg at a time until the volume increases, it lightens in colour and becomes almost fluffy.
- Stir in the white chocolate chips and Mini Creme Eggs.
- Transfer the batter to the lined baking tin and smooth out with a spatula.
- Have fun decorating the batter by distributing 12 Creme Egg Halves evenly across the brownie. Gently squeeze each half into the batter. Be careful, they can be quite brittle!
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are solid but the centre has a slight wobble to it. A skewer should come out mostly clean.
- Let the brownie cool completely.
- Melt the white chocolate and split the mixture into half.
- Add a few drops of colouring to the one batch to achieve a yellow/orange hue.
- Splatter the two types of chocolate over the brownies. Have some fun!
- Place in the fridge to set for a while, then slice the brownies into portions and serve as is or with ice cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- From 30 minutes onwards you should check the doneness of the brownie. It took my oven 40 minutes to reach the optimal doneness. Don’t over bake it though!
